VSEA’s 78th Annual Meeting was held on Saturday at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. In addition to the members and retirees who attended the meeting personally, there were a lot of other members attending virtually, via Zoom.
The body voted to approve an operating budget for the next fiscal year, and they voted to approve several bylaw changes. A dues change was also approved by the Annual Meeting attendees, as well as the Council and the VSEA Board of Trustees. The option approved was #3, which is:
“Straight percentage with no minimum or maximum: Dues will be set at 0.84% of an employee’s hourly pay rate, multiplied by their standard hours per pay period. This proposal would result in a dues decrease for some members and a dues increase for some members.”
VSEA will be emailing members soon with more details about the dues change.
